Althought not a macro per se, I've used my FA 300 mm f4.5 to give me the
working distance I required - it focuses down to around 7 feet.

Subject: Long macro lenses for K mount?
It seems that the longest macro currently produced for K-mount might be
about 100mm. I've heard mention of a 200mm, and I have an old manual
focus 135 1:2 macro.
Two part question:
What are the options for long focal length macros? How are they
optically? Are there any teleconverters that do well? Or, am I just
better off cropping tighter?
In a similar vein, are there technical reasons for the dearth of long
macro lenses? Or is it just that the market for them is too small for them
to be commercially viable?
